The BIPOC friction fire workshop is an overnight experience to learn and practice the art of fire birthing. The group will participate in a land walk to identify trees and other materials to make a bow drill kit. Participants will learn carving techniques and knife safety and begin carving their own bow drill or hand drill kit.  We will spend our second day together fine tuning our kits, learning about tinder and fire lays, and working on getting a coal.

This entire program is held outside. This workshop is open to all ages. This program runs on a sliding scale of $50-$350.

Accessibility: This workshop involves using knives, hatchets, and other tools. It involves a lot of crouching, bending, and physical exertion. It involves venturing off into the forest and the articulation that is a part of that.
